I-City, Shah Alam : City of Digital Lights

Mum and I were supposed to be heading back home after hours of shopping at Ikea, but since we felt adventurous, we went for a detour to I- City Shah Alam, took us around an hour to reach from Ikea using the trusty Waze app. If you havent heard about I-City before, try checking out their website here. They have an array of attractions City of Digital Lights, Red Carpet (similar to a wax museum), Trick Art Museum - RM 10 per entry, Snow Walk and Waterworld. Tickets can also be purchased online at this website. Only the City of Digital Lights has free entrance, while the other attractions has an entry fee, which is cheaper for Mykad holder, and cheaper before 6pm.
Among all the highlights, City of Digital Lights was the only one we went for due to limited time and depletion of energy. It is said that there are over 1 million LED lights lighting the whole place. The digital lights display starts around 6pm or when it begins to get dark. Although there's free entrance, the car parking fee after 6pm is a flat rate of  Rm10, If parked before 6pm, they charge per hour, not too sure if they add rm 10 to the hourly charge though (if u stay after 6pm), as we were there only at around 10pm. The place closes at 1am.

Devil horns in green- Rm5, we bought 2 others which were polkadot ribbons ( something like daisy duck would wear. :)

There are also other games offered in i-city, the bumper car, ferris wheel, flying chairs, arcade games, merry-go-round, spacewalk and many more. We paid RM 20 for the spacewalk, which was a cable car that took us around the City of Digital Lights. We were also given a card that can be topped-up to use for the other games. The cable car, has many features to it, the steering wheel allows u to turn the whole cable car a 180 degree angle, horizontally of course :). Paddling around the course can also be a form of exercise but not needed for the cable car to move. There are buttons, which we didn't explore, as it looked abit odd.
